Your right they do draw fire and for some reason the Army still does not buy gun shields for anything. It took a long time to even get them for mechanized stuff.

Thats something I never understood either,a shield,even
a small one for these crewed weapons seems like common
sense.

You`re so exposed operating them unless its a very well
planned position

The people who authorized their use have never been behind one in a combat situation. They can’t imagine why on earth it would draw fire from enemy forces.
